<H2>Operation</H2>

<PRE>
IF (PE = 1) AND ((VM = 1) OR (CPL > IOPL))
THEN (* Virtual 8086 mode, or protected mode with CPL > IOPL *)
   IF NOT I-O-Permission (DEST, width(DEST))
   THEN #GP(0);
   FI;
FI;
[DEST] := SRC; (* I/O address space used *)
</PRE>

<H2>Description</H2>

OUT transfers a data byte or data word from the register (AL, AX, or
EAX) given as the second operand to the output port numbered by the
first operand. Output to any port from 0 to 65535 is performed by placing
the port number in the DX register and then using an OUT instruction
with DX as the first operand. If the instruction contains an eight-bit port
ID, that value is zero-extended to 16 bits.

<H2>Flags Affected</H2>

None

<H2>Protected Mode Exceptions</H2>

#GP(0) if the current privilege level is higher (has less privilege) than
IOPL and any of the corresponding I/O permission bits in TSS equals 1

<H2>Real Address Mode Exceptions</H2>

None

<H2>Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions</H2>

#GP(0) fault if any of the corresponding I/O permission bits in TSS
equals 1
